Setoguchi isn't in the same place as guys like Jooris and Baertschi are. Those two can still grow and improve in Adirondack while the team continues to evaluate. But Setoguchi is a one-and-done scenario. He goes on waivers and he's done with the club. All his making the opening day roster means is that they aren't willing to give up on him on the basis of an insignificant number of pre-season games.
The fact that the Flames organization does not work the way you (and others) personally want it to does not create a credibility problem.

This.
Treliving at least knows how competitive these kids can be. Move out a few bodies and you've got NHLers. Until then, Adirondack
should be a powerhouse this season, which isn't going to hurt development in the least.
